MEME ∞ INTRO & CR — June 2025

Meme ∞ Intro & CR
June 2025
Welcome!
It's time to introduce yourselves! Use the form below to get out there and start plotting. New and old players alike are encouraged to post to the Intro & CR.

A mingle log will be posted on June 8.

While we won't be doing intro/mingle logs every application round, we'll have one for the first two rounds (June and August) to help everyone get settled! You can also check out the Bulletin for information on weather, broadcasts, and incidents.

Notes
  • Characters can arrive in-game on any date throughout the month of the TDM. This means characters do not have to, and typically will not, arrive all at once. Arrivals will be scattered and more difficult to predict. Use this to stagger CR, give characters a couple weeks without seeing each other, or whatever you feel makes it interesting!
  • Since base AC is low, players need to make AC for their first month. TDM threads continued into the month are perfectly acceptable as long as the comments submitted take place in the current month.
Updates
  • We've made some updates to the Invites page to reflect the game's current player cap status and added a player cap count to the Taken page. Our player cap is formally 70 players. The FAQ has also been updated to reflect these changes.
  • A reminder that the 2 characters per round allocation was for the first round only. Moving forward, all players, current and new, can only apply for one character per app round. (You may still have a total of 2 characters.)

Nadine Cross | The Stand

[personal profile] nadine_he_loves 2025-06-06 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)

Character

Name: Nadine Cross
Canon: The Stand
Age: 38
Links: Info Page

About: Nadine is a former elementary school teacher from New Hampshire who had a very weird childhood that led to even weirder adulthood. Orphaned as a baby, she ended up in the foster system - through a catholic run children's home - at the age of twelve. And then a powerful evil force contacted her through a Ouija board and promised her she would be his queen. And from then on she was visited in dreams and essentially raised for that purpose. He was all she had for most of her life. It screwed her up a lot! Then just a year ago her world ended, mostly wiped out by a plague. The survivors struggled to put things back together while two forces -one for good, one the thing Nadine was destined to marry - essentially using them to wage the end of times battle between Heaven and Hell.

So Nadine has some end of world trauma, too. She is very private, very slow to trust others or open up, and is used to staying on the fringe of society and keeping the world at arm's length. The big exception is kids. She is a natural mom, and it's pure instinct to look after and help young people.

While she's coming in from a point where she's accepted her fate, she has tried to get out of it. Just...unsuccessfully. So being here is looking like a pretty nice way out, actually....

Wanted CR: EVERYTHING! Bring her youths to mom at and adopt, bring her people she can connect with and start developing actual relationships with, bring her people who also had traumatic childhoods she could bond with, bring her all the CR!

Plots/Plans: So far she has just been trying to survive and save money. But I'm very into her exploring the world and checking out flux areas, and starting to get settled and make a life for herself. Also she will very likely try and set up a little tent school, because the lack of any schooling system at all makes her heart hurt. And she misses teaching.

Limits: Just no negative CR that comes out of nowhere, please! I'm down for friction, but when it makes sense.

hello! i can offer one guy who also went through the foster care system (except he ended up killing his foster parents for Reasons) and is also very private and slow to open up. they both share a love of kids though so maybe wriothesley can help out with her little tent school, he would be in full support of that.

This sounds like fantastic CR! I am very down for it. And hey, look, sometimes you end up having to kill people. Nadine understands that, she's been there.

I'm up for continuing our TDM or handwaving it and starting something new since I know they were just chatting!! She'll prob pick up for sure that he's Canadian and spends a lot of time in New York, since that's where their convo was heading haha.

I've been enjoying their dynamic, though, and I feel like they can keep connecting a bit as they bump into each other here and there!!

[personal profile] nadine_he_loves 2025-06-06 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! Yeah I am down to start something new. She likely shared a couple funny teaching stories after she finished her beer.

Same. Also, she has absolutely named the Roomba - Rosie - and sometimes she talks to it.

[personal profile] nadine_he_loves 2025-06-07 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! Nadine would definitely have a weird moment of 'wow, this guy could be Stu Redman's younger brother'. She didn't know Stu beyond to say hello to in passing, but she saw him enough that she'd notice the resemblance.

And his character in The Stand is a Texas farmer, so he's got a (Hollywood handsome version) sun weathered rugged look and a deep tan. But Nadine will absolutely expect a rural Texas accent to come out of Scott's mouth.

HEHEH... hi faye!! i'm excited for more nadine and arthur. i have a 22-year-old lady here who doesn't necessarily need any mentoring/adopting, but who has had mainly women mentors and parental figures in her life... so i think it'd be nice for her to get to know nadine!
